photo of Our Skin/ Pela nossa pele in Setubal.
Dear friends / Queridos Amigos
(mais informação em Portuguese em baixo)
The days start to become shorter
and full of cultural activities
busy busy busy
I hope you are well and healthy.
Looks like the Karavan is soon back on the roads :)
It was such an inspiring month with Our Skin/ Pela Nossa Pele
projected on a big building in Setubal-
a dream come true!
+ performance by the elderly people of the area, so moving!
It was also lovely to bring back to life our performance MA-MA in Lisbon
After 3 versions of the show, it has finally come to its Natural shape
and to launch our MA-MA booklet, made by the talented Josefa Searle
and ... to teach for the first time in the south, in Faro.
Now loads to come here and there and everywhere...
Portugal, Holand, Spain, France, UK...
Workshops and performances ...
Show must go on
and hopefully, Art can save our planet and our spirits!
Still missing a lot of you whom I haven't seen for definitely too long!
Looking forward to the time and place where our path would once again cross.
with L O V E

The current pandemic has made us think about the need, as a global society, to look at our relationship with planet Earth. Our Skin is a project that aims to reflect on the place where we live and to remember that we are nature.
Our Skin is a dance film by Yael Karavan and Rita Vilhena. Filmed in the wilderness of Coentral Grande, in Castanheira de Pêra, the film is composed of images captured with micro and macro lenses of the skin of the trees, the veins of the rivers, and the bodies of the dancers, breaking the separation that exists in urban society. The film observes and questions how we influence each other: Body-Earth, Earth-Body as it explores the transformation of the female body merging with the natural landscape. The boundaries between the performers' bodies and the landscape disappear, highlighting the continuity of our skin into the skin of the earth.
Our Skin aims to bring back the wild nature into the urban spaces where it once belonged. The film is dedicated in memory of the artist Dani Karavan who passed away during the creation of this film.
A pandemia fez-nos pensar na necessidade, enquanto sociedade global, de olharmos para a nossa relação com o planeta Terra. A ciência diz-nos que, se não tomarmos medidas ativas para alterar a nossa relação com o planeta, haverá inundações, crises de refugiados, incêndios e pandemia. Acreditamos que a actual pandemia pode ser um apelo a que atuemos. Pela nossa Pele é um projeto que visa refletir sobre o lugar onde vivemos e lembrar que somos natureza.
Pela Nossa Pele é um vídeo arte-dança criado por Yael Karavan e Rita Vilhena, realizado em colaboração com a realizadora Francisca Manuel, as performers Joana Castro, Thamiris Carvalho e Jim Clark, design de figurinos da Carlota Lagido. Filmado na natureza selvagem do Coentral Grande, em Castanheira de Pêra, o objeto artístico é composto por imagens captadas com lentes micro e macro da pele das árvores, as veias dos rios e o corpo das bailarinas, contrariando a separação existente na sociedade urbana. Um filme que observa e questiona como nos influenciamos uns aos outros: Corpo-Terra, Terra-Corpo.
Neste processo o filme explora a transformação do corpo feminino a fundir-se com a paisagem rural. As fronteiras da performance dos corpos das mulheres e da paisagem desaparecem, evidenciando a continuidade do “estar vivo”.
Residências: Estúdios Victor Córdon e Re-Union com Rumo do Fumo
Projecto apoiado pela República Portuguesa - Cultura/ DGArtes - Direcção Geral das Artes e Câmara Municipal de Castanheira de Pera

Oficina de Butoh no Forum Danca Lisboa
(taught in Portugues and English)
ULTIMAS VAGAS !
9 e 10 de Outubro 11-17h
Butoh é uma dança de vanguarda, uma filosofia e um método que foi criado no Japão, no final dos anos 50, por Tatsumi Hijikata e Kazuo Ohno. Não se trata de uma técnica, mas de um método e uma abordagem da dança que nasce dentro de nós e nos conecta a nossa essência, natureza, universo e aos ciclos da vida e da morte.
Yael Karavan tem mais de 20 anos de experiência, durante os quais teve a oportunidade de trabalhar com os fundadores do Butoh no Japão: Kazuo Ohno e Motofuji San - esposa de Tatsumi Hijikata - bem como com Tadashi Endo, Yumiko Yoshioka, Sankai Juku, Atsushi Takenuchi, Minako Seki, Akira Kasai, Natsu Nakajuma entre outros.
Os principais elementos que serão trabalhados na oficina são: metamorfose, presença, contraste, expansão da dança através de imagens (Buoth- Fu) e tensão entre opostos.
O objetivo é libertar o corpo “domesticado” do conjunto de gestos e movimentos preconcebidos permitindo o acesso à profunda e autêntica essência do movimento.
Espaço da Penha – Travessa do Calado 26-B, 1170-070 Lisboa

STAGE - LE REFLET DU MONDE DANS UNE GOUTTE D'EAU -
CRÉATION D'UN SOLO (AUTO)-PORTRAIT
A Paris
au Théâtre de la Terre
1 Passage du Buisson Saint-Louis
M° Belleville ou Goncourt
23 - 24 Octobre
Yael Karavan explore certains des outils développés dans son processus de performance en solo, en s'appuyant sur des éléments du théâtre physique et visuel, du théâtre d'objets, du butoh et du mime.
Elle propose une palette d'outils et de possibilités dans le processus créatif en explorant la "présence", les métamorphoses, le rythme, l'intention, les qualités des mouvements, l'imagerie et le contrepoint, ainsi que la manière d'établir une relation créative avec la matière, les objets et l'espace, en particulier dans le cadre des défis d'une performance en solo.
“En tant qu'interprète, notre être est outil d'expression et, en tant que tel, il est plutôt complexe et très riche, un monde a découvrir”.
Karavan propose plusieurs manières d’aborder notre créativité pour faciliter le voyage imaginaire et le plaisir de redécouvrir notre "outil" à travers du jeux, de l’improvisation et de l'exploration des possibilités infinies qui sont cachées en nous. Elle utilise une multitude de voies pour faciliter le voyage imaginaire de l’acteur/actrice et du public afin de créer un vocabulaire gestuel personnel pour chaque participant dans le processus de création d'un solo en tant que “Autoportrait". À la fin de l'atelier, chaque participant disposera d'une petite pièce solo qu'il/elle pourra continuer a développer.
Horaires : samedi de 14h à 19h et dimanche de 10h30 à 16h30
Tarif : 100 euros / 80 euros pour les élèves d'Hippocampe
Inscriptions ouvertes !
Renseignements : 06.29.96.29.06

IS BACK! on your Zoom Screens
Wherever you are!
29th of October 18h30 and 20h
Join the ridiculously serious callers Yael and Silvia, in a surreal night of Bingo with visual treats and dancing beats. Once accessed the box office, where audience members receive their personal BINGO card, everyone joins the callers at the Virtual Bingo Hall and the game begins. We spin the wheel, draw a number and test the audience’s luck and knowledge on their Human Rights.
Partly interactive and participatory theatre, partly clown show and eclectic cabaret, the show takes on different shapes every night depending on which numbers are drawn and who is in the audience. So sit comfortably on your sofa and join us, but watch out for the numbers as they take on hidden meanings and expose the flaws in the rules of the 'game'.Conceptually ingenious, this interactive show is part competition, part comedy and part learning experience in multiple senses…
The transition to an online show is cleanly achieved, building a sense of community among the participants who are clearly instructed how to play.★★★★ The Reviews Hub
Bingo! is a wild re-imagining of the familiar game. Karavan and Mercuriali are extremely likeable, and juggle the unpredictability of an interactive audience with impressive spontaneity... It’s a nudge to let ourselves off the hook, but remember our rights.★★★★ The UpComing
It’s all weaved together cleverly, and delivered with great gusto by our two energetic performers, who hold the space admirably – with disco-dancing and clever quipping a-plenty. Jolly good fun, and educational to boot!
Total Theatre - Dorothy Max Prior
Created and performed by Yael Karavan and Silvia Mercuriali

Dani Karavan / High Maintenance
27 & 28 de otubro no DocLisboa festival
The documentary film by Barak Heymman about my dearest late father, who passed away exactly 4 months ago will be arriving to Doc Lisboa Festival!
+ talk with the audience after the screening.
About the filmDani Karavan has created nearly 100 environmental installations all across the world and has won some of the most prestigious international art awards. Yet Karavan is far from satisfied. His monumental structures are rapidly deteriorating. His advanced age is starting to catch up with him. The political climate in his country is driving him mad, as does the director of the documentary being made about him. In addition, Karavan becomes embroiled in a serious political and artistic conflict over his latest commission. 'High Maintenance' is a cinematic reflection of its namesake: It is a straightforward, yet intricate film, emotional without being melodramatic, and as painful as it is humorous and passionate.
more info soon!

CAN ART SAVE OUR PLANET ?
Photo by Josefa Searle taken from the show MA-MA
I have already announced the relaunch of the Total Theatre Magazine website
And I would like to deeply recommend it to you all! especially people with interest in the performing arts. When I moved to the UK in 1996 I studied at Ecole Phillipe Gaulier and used to wait with anticipation every 3 months for the Magazine to come out in a book shop around the corner from the school in Camden. Last Autumn I participated in the Total Theatre Artists as Writers 2020 programme, It was such a rewarding experience and I am so proud to share my 1st published article here entitled - Can Art Save our Planet?
Please like and share and all that sort of stuff, to help us spread the word @TotalTheatreMag
You can also find other article from the Artists as Writers course they are all extremely worth wile on the site....
